Filebase

Filebase's InterPlanetary File System, or IPFS, is a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol that enables nodes to store and transfer files between one another. Mover can connect to IPFS through the S3-compatible interface.

Add a Filebase Connection

Create a new Connection and choose Filebase for the connection type.

Provide a Connection Label so you can identify the connection in a list. This is especially important if you need more than one connection of the same type.

Bucket Details

Fill the Filebase Bucket Name with the name of your bucket from your Filebase web portal > Buckets page.

Credentials

Mover uses an Access Key and Secret Key to authenticate requests, following the protocol established by AWS for S3.

Use the Access Keys dashboard in your Filebase account to create and manage your keypair.

Enter the Key in the Filebase Access Key field of the connection.

Put the Secret in the Filebase Secret Key field of the connection.

Filebase is Case Sensitive

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between connections. Copying items from a system which is not case sensitive to another that is case sensitive could result in 1 item being treated as 2 different ones, such as attempting to overwrite MyFile.txt with myfile.txt .

In the other direction, copying from a case sensitive system to another that is not case sensitive can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case insensitive names are a match.
